Dear Editor
My wife and I were confronted by an unfortunate incident when travelling to the shop at 17:30 today (16 February 2012).
We passed a stationary car near the end of a street in our suburb. As we went past, we saw the male driver grab the lady’s head and start assaulting her. We immediately stopped to render assistance to the lady. Unperturbed by our presence the male repeatedly assaulted the lady.
As we went closer the man kept reaching into his door, and I was forced to keep my distance as I didn’t know what he was reaching for.
After a short period and warnings from me, my wife pulled the door open on the passenger side, but the lady wouldn’t get out. The man however got out and I told him to hit me if he was a man, which he didn’t do. The lady then climbed into the driver’s seat and drove towards him!
How can woman accept such abuse? What can a person do if they don’t want to help themselves?
Regards
Disgusted
